Aerating water

[Daskahn]

Yes keeping the water aerated will help out.. it’s highly recommended for any type of hydro.. but in soil it adds many benefits as well.. helps positive microb growth, helps roots develop
keeps your reservoir from becoming stagnant too

I've need reading on dissolved oxygen and found a video on YouTube on fluming apparently it raise the oxygen levels higher then a bubbler as long as temps are between 18c to 20c they say 19c would be perfect without affecting the growth.

My experience with water temps and aero-cloning...19 is slow to produce roots and 20 works perfectly for the strains I use. Roots showing in 2 weeks.

Toker1 you don't say..well good to know..thxs for that info...but I was referring more to the flowering stage like..mid to later stages...what's your input on this just so I know if was doing something wrong that could of been the cause of some of my issues .

I believe it is strain dependent. I am prone to say that mountain strains (like the kush types) will be more resilient to cooler temps than the tropical strains would be (like the haze types). This is something you will have to experiment with. Take notes on growth rates, measured in some standard way, and water temps. Optimize your settings for the particular plant you are growing. 👍

Very well said toker1 ...which does help me to understand better of the issue I had with my G13 haze and why she would react the way she did when I'd water her with water temps not in range and I haven't over water a plant in years...I knew it was the temps .
